i try to stock up on paints, so i always have whatever colours i am likely to need. That does mean i have a very large paint stash.

My paint of choice is xtracolour enalems, which is £1.50 a tin, comes in the same tins as Humbrol and Revell paints. Not sure what size those MM paints come in.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

$229.00 or $1400 if I order from Squadron...Whistling

...seriously I agree..paint is always expensive especially when you take into account the amount you get in eah little jar or tin. It does seem that you are on par with the prices....maybe you can find some better deals online....if you want to wait for your paint a couple of days...

I find that most paints at the different stores around here are about the same price. I think paint is just expensive to begin with. I dont think Ive ever bought 13 colors or jars at once, usually its 2 or 3, 6 at max.

My shop has MM enamels for just under $4. I usually only buy 2 or 3 at a time so it doesn't seem like such a kick in the zipper.

I went to my LHS today (Hobbytown USA) and bought 13 Model Master colors and a fine point brush. I needed the colors for the Bf-108 I'm working on and the Bf-109 I have planned next. I walked out of there paying $55 and some change.Indifferent I know Hobbytown is expensive though.

What do you guys pay when you have to stock back up on paints like that? Just curious.Hmm
